Chapter 12 Heartbeat

In mid-August, the weather is getting cooler, and the trees on both sides of the road are gradually withering, and most people choose to travel when it is a little warmer, so it is not desolate to walk on the road in the morning and evening.

The sky is gradually approaching dusk on the official road to Hangzhou, a car and a horse come slowly, the sky is gradually darkening, the town to stay is nowhere to be seen, it seems that they are going to stay in the wild tonight. Although the weather has turned cooler in autumn, it is not too cold to raise a campfire and sleep in the wilderness.

Lu Jue has been away from Beijing for three days, and this day is the saddest, although there are unreliable delays, but fortunately, there are hidden men who have found a place with their backs to the mountains and waters, so that a few people will not starve.

Liu Fuling filled a few sticks of firewood into the bonfire, leaned in and smelled the game that was about to be roasted, swallowed and muttered: "There is a river in front of you, and there is a starry sky, and it is actually quite good to do this once or twice once in a while." After flipping through the fish and game roasted on it, he turned to a woman standing by the lake and said, "Come, come, come, don't stand there, the fish is almost ready." ”

Hearing this, the woman turned her head, glared at him, and then looked at the man sitting on the wheel with a very admiring gaze, and praised: "It's still Bai Jiu who is amazing, and I found such a place to eat and drink with mountains and water in the background." As he spoke, he looked at Liu Fuling and quickly changed his disgusted eyes, and accused: "I've seen something unreliable, I've never seen you so unreliable, and if you want to follow your young master, you have to starve." ”

Liu Fuling hurriedly stood up and walked over full of grievances: "You have already scolded me all the way, you should be relieved, in the end, this can't be blamed on me, who made such a big town, even a taste of medicinal materials so difficult to find, you must know that I might as well prepare them early in Beijing." He raised his hand and knocked on his head, which was a lesson for himself. In order to travel conveniently and reduce the burden, you can take less things, a group of four people only have a horse, a car, the plan can not catch up with the changes, who knows that it is so difficult to buy precious medicinal materials in a small town, next time you must be ready to set off.

The woman glared at him, snorted and sat down by the campfire, and said to the unsightly man in his thirties who was sitting on the carriage and was dressed in a brown suit: "Bai Jiu, you have the greatest credit today, and you should choose which one you want to eat first, fish or game." "I don't know if he was cold-blooded, or if the deaf family didn't pay attention to the woman at all, and didn't even open his closed eyes.

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the black hole on his right. There was a slight rustling sound, and there were also several pairs of eyes watching them not far away.

The woman didn't notice anything unusual at all because she was angry, turned her head and folded a piece of wood while throwing it into the fire, and said angrily: "What's the big deal, isn't it just that the kung fu is better, and you don't like to eat it!" ”

Because Bai Jiu's behavior of ignoring Yue Ying was already angry enough, Liu Lingling leaned over again and added fuel to the fire and said, "Oh, you said that you and him are all dead soldiers, why is the gap so big!" ”

Originally, the fire in this stomach was not sprinkled, but at this time it hit it, where could the woman endure this breath, glared at him fiercely, grabbed him by the collar and yelled: "What did you say." ”

Liu Fuling hurriedly made a booing motion, looked at the carriage, patted the back of her hand and pointed: "Don't wake up the young master with a quiet voice, it's hard to fall asleep, let him sleep more before eating!" ”

"Hmph" The woman held back her anger, shook her fist at him, let go of her hand and sat down with a puff, sprinkled all her anger on the fire, and said angrily: "Don't be hungry young master, hurry up and roast it." ”

Seeing her angry appearance, Liu Fuling smiled very happily, walked up to her and sat beside her, leaned on her shoulder and said, "I mean you are both dead soldiers, he is as cold as a stone, except for accepting the master's orders, he has no emotion." As he spoke, he put his arms around her and said, "My wife is different, she can scold, get angry, laugh, and she is no longer as cold-blooded and ruthless as before." ”

Moon Shadow glared at him with a smile and scolded, "What's so complacent." ”

Liu Fuling rubbed her chin and said, "This is my credit, how can I not be proud." ”

"You!" Hearing him say this, the anger disappeared. Leaning on his head and smiling warmly.

Bai Jiu's ear power is the best in comparison, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he looked back distractedly and smiled rarely.

Lu Jue has been worried every day since Beijing, and he can't sleep at night. It was difficult to sleep well for several days, and I couldn't stay up after I was in a hurry, so I fell asleep just at dusk. For the convenience of Lu Jue's travel, the carriage he used to travel was relatively wide, and it was more than enough for one person to sleep and a few more people to sit in it.

But even if he slept Lu Jue, he fell into a dream, and in the dream he returned to the scene when he left the Zhou family to say goodbye to him when he was young, which was also the season after autumn.

At that time, Shui'er was just an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl who didn't know how to do things, tiptoeing through the car window and telling herself a thousand things. Even if she had walked a long way, she still stood there and looked back without regrets. I don't know what kind of situation I will face after marrying myself, whose fault is it for all this? For his own heartbeat, but he harmed an innocent little girl.

She is the person she is most sorry for and should not be disappointed the most.

Slowly, Lu Jue opened his eyes, as if waking up was so logical. He sat up straight and sat there for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, lifted the curtains of the car and looked out, the flickering of the bonfire and another thought of him.

The fish and game had been roasted, and Liu Poria wanted to wake up Lu Jue, but when she turned her head, she saw people looking at the bonfire and didn't know what she was thinking. Hurriedly ran over and shouted softly: "Young master, you're awake." ”

Lu Jue came back to his senses and asked, "There will be our horse farm in the next town." ”

Liu Fuling asked a little puzzled: "Why, these horses have only been traveling for a few days, don't they need to be replaced?" ”

"Abandon the cart and ride a horse." After saying a few words, Lu Jue put down the curtain of the car and leaned on the soft pillow.

"What." Riding a horse, Liu Lingling couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly climbed into the carriage, got into the carriage and persuaded Lu Jue: "No, your body is 、、、、、、"

Lu Jue raised his eyelids and glanced at him, lowered his head and said, "I will do what I can." ”

"It's not me、、、、、、" Before Liu Lingling finished speaking, someone interrupted again.

"Alas, don't we Dr. Liu know everything? Why, can't even do something as simple as riding a horse! I don't know when Moon Shadow was already leaning against the door of the carriage, looking at Liu Lingling with a smile.

At the beginning, Lu Jue decided to learn to ride a horse, but he learned it in half a day, and he didn't even dare to approach the horse's body for half a month. Liu Fuling is willing to admit such a good face, gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't it just riding a horse, who wouldn't!" I'm just thinking about the young master's body, and I'm afraid that the young master will have an accident. ”

Moon Shadow covered her mouth with her palm, laughed twice, and sneered: "You are my father-in-law, I don't know your little kitten greasy, don't use the young master as an excuse, it's good that you don't have to admit it, literati, no one laughs at you." ”

I've seen a stone fall into a well, but I've never seen a few more stones thrown after falling into a well. Where does Liu Fuling, such a wife, not vomit blood, he rubbed his chest, squinted at her and said, "The minority obeys the majority." ”

Moon Shadow said: "Okay, the young master and I both agreed to ride a horse, you lost." ”

Liu Fuling unwillingly pointed at Bai Jiu, who was sitting on the other side, and said, "Also, what about Bai Jiu?" ”

But then Bai Jiu also gave him a 'blow': "It doesn't matter. ”

Liu Fuling covered her chest, twisted her eyebrows, and pointed at Bai Jiu: "Okay, okay, don't look for me when you're sick, be careful that I make you diarrhea." ”

Moon Shadow patted Bai Jiu's shoulder and said, "He doesn't dare with me." Laughed twice, looked at him gloatingly, and said: "It's useless to lose and not be convinced, you just accept your fate!" ”

Liu Fuling stiffened her neck and said unconvinced: "What accident happened to the young master, who can bear it between you and Bai Jiu." ”

Moon Shadow crossed her waist and raised her hand to poke his head and said angrily: "Are you deliberately finding fault or pretending to be stupid for me, you use your big head to think about it, the young master and the young lady have not seen each other for five years, and now they are about to get married, of course they have to rush to cultivate their feelings." ”

Moon Shadow's words made Lu Jue, who was sitting there, tremble, put his hands on his knees and slowly clenched into fists, muttering to himself: "Lu Jue, what are you thinking about at this time?" ”

His appearance was a little inexplicable, Liu Lingling was afraid that he would be cranky again, so she glared at Yueying, and her eyes were clearly telling her, 'Which pot is not opened', and immediately persuaded: "Young master, don't think about it, don't you often say that the young lady has been reasonable since she was a child!" And you correspond with the young lady at least once a month, I think the young lady will understand, right? ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he questioned his words, and what he said just now was to persuade the young master. He knows very well in his own heart that the daughter of a famous family doesn't have a temper, and the kind of excuse that is so bad that he loses his teeth can be used once or twice, and it is inevitable after a long time、、、、、、

Lu Jue glanced up at him and smiled sadly, all of whom felt how shameful the trace of thought he had just now. Slowly lowered his head and stared at his hands, full of guilt. But this did not affect his gentle temperament at all, a pair of thick eyebrows were locked on his pale and handsome face, and his eyes were as black as ink jade under the thick eyebrows, and the whole person looked extremely depressed by a layer of haze. However, this did not give people the strength of the chicken, but instead of the natural king's energy, even the red mole above his left eyebrow was full of mighty righteousness, making him gentle and majestic, noble and elegant.

Seeing his master's expression, Moon Shadow immediately joked: "Young master, why do I think that you look like this, not like seeing your fiancΓ©e, but like going to the execution ground." No, it's worse than going to the execution ground. ”

Liu Fuling glared at her and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about again!" He moved to Lu Jue's side and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Master Zhou is sleek, if something really happens, he will definitely know the young master early in Beijing for a few months, and he won't let the young master lose face and not come to the stage!" ”

"Oh, I didn't think about that, I was just thinking about how to get along with Shui'er after seeing Shui'er." Lu Jue raised his head and smiled reluctantly.

Laughing so reluctantly, who would believe it! Liu Lingling was about to say something, but was frightened by Moon Shadow's scream.

"Ahh

The three of them were startled by the sound, and they all looked at Moon Shadow, thinking that she was uncomfortable.

Liu Fuling, who was taken aback, glared at her fiercely, and said angrily: "What's the howl, the horse has stepped on you." ”

"Go" Moon Shadow scolded with a smile, not angry but unable to hide her excitement and tilted her head to look at Lu Jue, as if she had seen through his thoughts, full of pride and a little reminded: "Today is August 26." ”

Liu Fuling looked at her puzzled and laughed, thinking to herself, 'Twenty-six is twenty-six, what's so special 、、、、、、about it' Suddenly he seemed to think of something, stared at Lu Jue with wide eyes, grabbed his wrist tightly and said excitedly: "Next month, next month and twelve is the young lady's birthday, it's difficult, no wonder 、、、、、、" raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Jue as if he had a hint.

"En" Moon Shadow nodded vigorously, and also looked at Lu Yiping.

At the same time, the cold Bai Jiu also looked at Lu Jue, as if he was also looking forward to his answer.

Lu Jue smiled a little embarrassedly, and said gently: "The two of you still have problems!" ”

Moon Shadow shook her head again and again, "No, no, hehe, in fact, the young master should have been like this a long time ago." He raised his eyebrows and said loudly to Liu Fuling: "Then you, do you understand what the young master means, we will abandon the car and ride a horse in the next town." ”

"Yes," Liu Lingling nodded very seriously.

Lu Jue smiled gently, and asked with a little anxiety: "Poria, you are okay!" ”

Liu Fuling puffed up her chest, patted her chest stubbornly and said, "No problem, who am I, it's a big deal that my ass is rotten." ”

"There's a kind." Moon Shadow gave a thumbs up and looked at Liu Lingling with a relieved smile.

Liu Fuling snorted and smiled, secretly praying that she could save her buttocks.

Knowing Lu Jue's thoughts, in order to let the two meet earlier, the others no longer found excuses to rest, and the master and servant rushed to Hangzhou City in just six days.

It was only noon when a few people rushed into the city, and they first entered the inn arranged by the people sent to Hangzhou by Lu Jue, and hurriedly had a simple lunch, freshened up and changed clothes. Lu Jue took Liu Lingling alone and got into the carriage hired in advance to go to Zhou's house.

It didn't take two quarters of an hour for the carriage to stop at the door of Zhou's house, but Lu Jue didn't get out of the car in a hurry, but picked up the curtain and looked at the vermilion gate of Zhou's house, just in time to see a slender woman in a cloth dress and hairpin skirt calling the door.

The woman heard the sound of horses' hooves and carts stopping, and turned to look at the carriage.

The four eyes had a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu towards Lu Jue, and that feeling was so deep-rooted and unbreakable. At this time, the door opened, the woman smiled at him, and entered the Zhou family only after blessing her body. Lu Jue looked at it blankly, his heart seemed to be hit by something, and his pale cheeks were slightly flushed.
